Insecure regarding by many reviews. A loud noise at the A +++ appliances from Bosch and Siemens we almost resorted to a A ++ unit of Samsung.
But an unbeatable offer in the wholesale chain M *** O then but let's get back to the pivot KG39EAL43 Siemens.
And we did not regret it:
Construction and packaging:
The unit comes safely in Styrofoam, cardboard and foil wrapped. . A possibly necessary change of door swing is completed within about 10 minutes (Note: Torx screws TX15 / 20). This is best done lying down (fridge, not one himself). It follows the setting up and the mandatory waiting period of min. 1 hour before turning to run any spillage of the cooling circuit lubricant back to the compressor. The time can be fine with removing the blue tape strips, which are attached to secure the incorporation abundant in the interior, and bridge cleaning the refrigerator and freezer range with a soapy water.
And then he stands there: quite impressive and large. With its matt, brushed stainless steel front makes it looks very impressive. We have the built-in wardrobe and put away the Siemens in the resulting gap. This fits perfectly sideways, but unfortunately the cabinet is slightly deeper than normal countertop or vanity units, so that the door protrudes about 7 cm. But that does not matter because it underlines the "outstanding" nature of the "kitchen cabinet".
Initial power:
It amazes First, the outstanding LED light. It illuminates the refrigerator from perfect. Quietly, the compressor will now begin to hum and begin its work. Pretty soon the back of the refrigerating compartment is cooled to -11 ° C. Until, however, the set temperature is reached, it already takes a while. In particular, if, as must be cooled down with us, a large amount of food again.
The default values for TK and cooling compartment can take it, but it is then the meat and fish trade not
Ongoing operations:
The refrigerator (at least ours) is quiet. Yes, silent! One hears after closing the door for a moment to run the fan and very rarely also times the compressor. But a gurgle or bollern how to read in other reviews, does not take place in us. I would describe it as slight humming that in about 3 - is no longer listening to 4 meters.
We are excited about the space. Ranging from the bottle holders in the door, the bottle rack or two drawers. Simply huge.
That the refrigerator cools or freezes deeply understood. Whether and how much electricity we save through him, time will tell ...
Unfortunately there is a small negative point:
There are some devices which are equipped with a stainless steel front with anti-fingerprint. Unfortunately the EAL43 is not among them. And it shows unfortunately. Fingerprints are not uncommon in the area of the handle, but easily removed with a microfibre cloth. You have to get into the habit, to make contact the door to hold it by the handle to stop.
But that can not dampen the joy of this device. We would buy it again. Thus, a strong buy recommendation !!
Addendum after 6 months of operation:
Electricity consumption only about 1/4 of your old appliance. Cooling capacity is still top. No excessive tendency to icing.
We are still often grinning when we once again have the closet and look forward, as much as fits in!
